I stared at her, my heart pounding. I didn't know what terrified me more—the idea of confronting Gabriel… or the woman standing in front of me, who had saved my life at such a devastating cost.

But how could I tell her that Kristie’s murderer—her ex-fiancé—was the same man who had once shattered my life?

Gabriel Carson was my ex-husband. The man who had cheated on me.

Weeks slipped by, and I had no choice but to embrace my new identity as Kristie Gray. Wearing another woman's face, slipping into her life—it was suffocating. But Dr. Chelsea had made it clear: this was the only way forward. Her daughter, the renowned supermodel Kristie, was gone. And now, I had become her shadow.

Every day was training. Dr. Chelsea drilled me on Kristie's habits—how she moved, spoke, and carried herself. It felt less like learning and more like losing myself to a stranger. But the fire inside me kept me going. Revenge was the only thing that kept me from drowning.
